Fabric lampshade decoration

A table lamp with a lampshade looks much nicer than just an ordinary bare lamp. But if a solid color is chosen for the lampshade, then you can decorate it in an original way.Here are some ideas on how to make an interesting fabric lampshade decoration.

Lampshade in Provencal style

In order to decorate a plain lampshade, you will need a piece of fabric and a fringe. Usually, green, turquoise and pastel shades of colors are used for the Provence style, checkered colors or floral patterns are also suitable.

First you need to choose a suitable fabric for a plain lampshade and cut out two strips from it - one to decorate the top of the lampshade. This strip of fabric should be long enough to completely wrap around the circle and make a bow. The second strip should have the circumference of the bottom of the lampshade, and a fringe must be sewn to it. You can do this on a sewing machine.

All free edges of the fabric must be processed so that it does not crumble. After that, using glue or thread with a needle, you need to attach the fringed ribbon to the base of the lampshade so that the fringe hangs down.

Then you need to decorate the top of the lampshade. To do this, you need to glue or also sew the ribbon along the circumference, and tie the free edges with a bow.

Lace can also be used for a Provencal-style lampshade. This element is good because it can be simply glued to the fabric.

You can make lace flowers, stripes, or completely glue the fabric lampshade with lace napkins.

Lampshade with fabric flowers

Another unusual idea that will allow a table lamp with a lampshade to look like a flower bed is decorating with fabric flowers.

Fabric of delicate shades is perfect for flowers, you can use, for example, organza or chiffon, or you can simply take, for example, an old sweater, cut strips and twist roses out of them.

The lampshade can be decorated with just a few flowers, but if you have time and patience, you can make a whole bunch of flowers to completely cover the lampshade.

Do-it-yourself lampshade from scraps

If there are many pieces of different fabrics at home, you can make a lampshade from multi-colored shreds.

For to do such a lampshade, it is necessary to use the technique of sewing pieces to the fabric base. The easiest way is to cut a piece of fabric to the size of the frame and divide it into several wedges.

Then you need to sew patches to each wedge the way you like - you can sew strips of fabric diagonally, or make small squares. So that the process does not drag out, it is better to use a sewing machine.

After that, all the wedges with patches will need to be sewn together and glued to the base of the lampshade.

Such a lamp can perfectly fit into the country style!

Lampshade made of unusual materials

When the lampshade is made independently, you can give free rein to your imagination and experiment. To make an original thing, you must first find an unusual material.

It is very interesting, for example, in the kitchen, a lampshade made of burlap can look. This fabric transmits light well. Such a lampshade can be decorated with some wooden details, for example, clothespins or wooden beads and buttons.

You can also use grandmother's old lace napkins to decorate. Also on such a lampshade you can write something with white or black paint, as they usually write on bags.

For a teenager's room, you can sew an American-style lampshade. This will require denim. And you don’t have to buy it, you can just cut old jeans - every person will surely have such a thing.

Such a lampshade can be decorated, for example, with a denim pocket, where you can insert an artificial flower or a piece of a checkered handkerchief. Also for such a lampshade, you can use the application. For this, pieces of leather are suitable.

For example, for a lamp that will stand in a girl's room or bedroom, you can sew a delicate mesh lampshade. This fabric can be found in any sewing store.

It will be interesting to look at the lampshade, which is made of several layers of mesh - it will resemble a ballerina's tutu or a fluffy skirt.

Driftwood lamp

This creative idea will not require much effort and expense to implement - use the snags found in the forest under your feet. They are exclusive in themselves: each branch bend is unique. All you need to do is find a suitable specimen, clean it of bark and excess wood, then dry it thoroughly. For drying, a ventilated place away from direct sunlight is suitable.

After complete drying, it is necessary to sand the snag well with sandpaper. Determine the side that will be attached to the ceiling. With a blade, make grooves on it into which you will lay the wires. At the end of work with wires, the holes must be carefully puttied, and then stained with putty in the color of the tree.

Cartridges are attached to the ends of the driftwood, you can think of various ways to attach them. At the end, treat the wood with varnish. It is necessary to put several layers with drying each. Choose acrylic or waterproof varnish.

The main elements of the living room

A kind of quintessential interior design is the living room. If the kitchen is the heart, then the living room is the “face” of the house, its front part.

Curtains

Curtains give the room a finished look. Refine windows. They can be different in texture, design, color. It all depends on the style of the living room. If this is a classic style, then the curtains should be made of heavy dense fabrics. Velvet, brocade. If this is a Provence style, then chintz, silk-satin curtains will do. High-tech style, loft may not require the use of curtains at all.

Choosing a lamp for a homemade chandelier

To make the chandelier made from scrap materials made by you look even more attractive, you need to choose the right light bulbs for it. The following recommendations will help you:

Choose a lamp of suitable power. Remember that overly powerful products can cause a fire.
Look at the number of lumens. The larger it is, the more natural the lighting.
Consider matching the shape of the light bulb to your appliance. For some models of chandeliers, light bulbs of a strictly defined shape are required. Only then will they work efficiently and correctly reflect the light rays.
Be sure to check the expiration date.If you plan to use the lamp often, then look at the lamps with the longest lifespan.
Take an interest in what kind of light the lamp will glow - cold or warm. For the home, it is better to purchase an option with a warm shade of light.

So the situation will seem more comfortable.
Do not ignore the energy consumption of the light bulb. Products with low energy consumption are considered the best choice.
Check for the presence of mercury in the lamp - this determines how it is disposed of

Mercury-containing products cannot simply be thrown into the trash. They must be handed over to special collection points.

Chandeliers from kitchen utensils and cutlery

Over the years, a lot of extra dishes are collected in the kitchen, which is a pity to throw away, and you no longer want to use. It turns out that it can find unexpected uses.

Lamps from dishes

Charming bottle chandelier

You can not make ceiling lamps for kitchen lamps yourself, but use various utensils and utensils: tea and coffee cups, bowls, vases, etc.

Examples:

From tea cups with saucers. In their bottoms with a ceramic crown, you need to drill round holes for cartridges and glue cups with saucers using epoxy glue.

Such shades can be hung on cords at different heights or fixed to the frame of an old chandelier.

By the same principle do-it-yourself lamps are made from cans painted in the desired color, colanders, pots and even pyramidal graters.

Need for invention is cunning

Why not a lampshade wicker straw basket?

And if you are a little smarter, you can make not a hanging chandelier, but such a ceiling lamp by laying the wires in the grooves cut out on the back of the wooden dies.

There is a similar option for a modern interior.

This functional shelf with coffee cup lights can be hung above the dining table.

Cutlery chandeliers

The easiest way is to use frames from old chandeliers, preferably multi-tiered ones, for their manufacture. Such, for example:

Soviet chandelier hanging in almost every apartment

I just have a similar rarity in the attic, which has lost almost all the pendants. So they can be replaced with spoons, forks and other ladles by drilling holes in the upper part of the handles and threading rings into them.

If there is no such treasure, it does not matter. To make similar chandeliers from scrap materials with your own hands, you can take hoops of different diameters or cut circles out of plywood with a jigsaw and connect them with chains.

Single row chandelier

The second way to attach cutlery to the frame is to bend them so that the handle of the spoon or fork itself takes the form of a hook and clings to the base.

Here it is done the other way around: the spoons cling to the frame with the upper part, and the cups are hung on the hook handles.

To be honest, these options are too… creative for me. But maybe someone will like it.

1. Fold the plate in half, measure from the center line 0.5 cm to the side and cut. We will use this blank as a template.

Advantages

The main advantage of homemade wooden chandeliers is the material. Today, when plastic has become widespread throughout the world, everything natural and environmentally friendly is especially appreciated. What are the benefits of a wooden slatted chandelier?

guaranteed environmental friendliness - wood is a clean material that does not harm health; ease of execution, which is ensured by the pliability of the material; no restrictions regarding the appearance of the product - working with your own hands, you can create a chandelier that is ideally suited to the chosen design of the room; positive impact on the emotional state - proven that wooden objects have a calming effect.

Important! Homemade chandeliers made of coniferous wood not only have a beautiful appearance, but also help get rid of respiratory diseases. Pine and spruce are especially healing

Textile

The window is the lightest and brightest place in the kitchenwhich always grabs attention. Window decoration, out of the general concept of repair, instantly cheapens the entire interior

The worst solution for the kitchen will be blinds. They destroy the atmosphere of comfort, giving the room an office style. In addition, blinds are a magnet for dust and dirt. Given the abundance of moisture, grease and odors in the kitchen, washing them is unrealistic.

Therefore, to decorate the window in the kitchen, it is better to choose other types of textiles. At the same time, the curtains should organically fit into the kitchen project. So, bright curtains can become both a stylish interior detail and an inappropriate spot that cheapens the image.

Painting monetization

Decorating money is a luxury task. After all, everyone likes them. But if you turn on the fantasy, then the financial gift will be presented with a touch of elegance.

Take:

• cardboard 2 types;
• cork sheet;
• 15-20 rubles in small coins;
• PVA;
• stationery knife;
• ruler, pencil

Cut cardboard and balsa wood into the same size. Focus on A4 standard.Glue both parts, put under weight, wait a couple of hours. Cut out the outline of a tree trunk, glue it to the main background. Sort the coins into 3 groups: pennies, 10 and 50 kopecks. Rubles will come in handy later. Gradually glue one at a time, starting with a larger diameter, forming a beautiful monetary crown. Stick to a chess layout. Finish under the tree with "ruble" grass. Attach an envelope on the back, put some money, give it to a good friend!

Precious Bookmarks

In the modern world of computer technology, books have also acquired an electronic format. But for some of us, the ritual of reading the good old books in their original form still takes place. And a luxurious bookmark will not only additionally emphasize its significance and value, but will also become a decorative highlight of your interior. Such a thing is easy to do with your own hands.

For decor, any jewelry is suitable - beads, brooches, stones.

For work, you will also need: wide colored ribbons (velvet or satin), scissors, thread, needles, wire cutters, glue and clips for decoration.

Think of the perfect combinations for your taste.

Glue the ribbons well, folding them in half.

We make out the ends with clips.

From threads

Threads allow you to simply create a light lampshade that looks very stylish. It will perfectly fit into the interior of any kitchen, it remains only to choose the appropriate color of the threads. Thick cotton threads are ideal in this regard, but woolen threads are not suitable.

• In order to make a chandelier for the kitchen from threads, inflate a balloon. Its size determines the dimensions of the future lampshade. At the base of the ball, use a marker to draw a small circle.
• PVA glue should be poured into a small cup and gradually, processing the thread with it, wind it in a chaotic manner around the ball. The threads should not touch the drawn circle. It is not worth processing a large section of the thread at once. Be patient, as the work will be monotonous and long, but the result will be amazing. You can simplify the work if you pierce a bottle of glue (closer to the base) and pull a thread through it.
• After the entire ball is covered with a layer of thread soaked in glue, leave it to dry for a day. If the resulting frame is rigid, the product is ready and the ball can be blown off. We specially drew a circle around which it was not necessary to wind the threads in order to pull out the deflated balloon through the hole formed. This step of the process requires care.
• It remains to cut a hole for the cartridge and hang the lampshade in the kitchen. Additionally, such a chandelier can be decorated with paper or fabric butterflies, flowers.

colored paper

An interesting option is to decorate the wall with colored paper. For this, a “blank” wall, without windows and doors, is suitable. Purchase several sets of paper in all the colors of the rainbow from the store. Directly on the wall, the sheets are attached to glue or a clerical pin. Arrange the composition with irregular shapes, but with the order of the colors of the rainbow.

If there is a closet near the wall, it's not scary. Its outlines can be beaten in the same way. Use the corner of the room. Place this composition on two walls at once.

Another option. Cut out a pattern or tree from colored paper. This can also be done in the corner of the room. Glue the trunk, branches and leaves. Make the last bright shade.The open shelves, which are located on the continuation of the tree branches, perfectly complement this work of art. Use bright, contrasting colors. The dark green or brown color of the tree branches will go well with bright pink leaves, as well as white shelves. Additionally, attach a birdhouse to the tree.

Coloring is a significant part of a competent choice.

For fans of experimentation, there are bold tones of red, black, blue, green and other colors. Designers are advised to choose chandeliers, the color of which will occupy the second predominant place in the interior. For example, if the room is decorated in black, and the small components have white pigment, a white chandelier will suit you.

Tree-paintings and more

Plant motifs have always been very popular - it is impossible to do without them in an eco-interior, some types of oriental, provence, vintage. Pictures on wooden surfaces are made using:

• acrylic or oil paints, brushes by drawing;
• dye from a can through a stencil;
• burning with a magnifying glass, a special apparatus;
• pulling colored threads between nails driven into a piece of wood;
• by gluing wooden branches in the form of a tree onto a plank surface, followed by applying paints and varnishes.

There is another original way: transferring a photo to a wooden surface. How to do it: you need a picture printed on a laser printer, the smoothest board, acrylic gel. Gel is applied to the wood, the photo is placed face down, smoothed. They wait until it dries enough, soak the paper with water, wash it to the very drawing.

Fluffy dandelions are depicted on a tree with a burning device using thick and thin nozzles. To make a picture of threads and nails, the necessary contour is drawn on a board or plywood, along which small carnations are driven in with a hammer, knitting or embroidery threads are stretched between them. The base can be pre-stained in a contrasting color.

DIY lamp

The modern direction of hand made is absolutely not limited in materials. For crafts use not only industrial goods for creativity, but also improvised materials.

In order to make the device yourself, you need to know some features:

When creating a lamp, use modern LED or energy-saving light bulbs. Do not use standard incandescent lamps, as when heated, they can damage the body of the device.

If you decide to restore an old lamp, then be careful when disassembling it, especially when it comes to wires. Do not forget to make sure that they are intact and working, and it is best not to take risks and buy new wires.

If you decide to make a lamp for the street with your own hands, then when buying lamps, pay attention to the possibility of their operation at sub-zero air temperatures.

Chandelier from discs

If you have a lot of discs that you don’t need, but it’s a pity to throw them away, then you can make a beautiful chandelier out of them.

Materials for work:

• two round wooden discs, slightly larger in diameter than the discs themselves. At the same time, the thickness of wooden disks should be different;
• wooden or metal rack;
• lamp;
• disks;
• switch starter.

Work process

1. In a wider circle of wood, we make a hole and install a starter in it.
2. Then we connect the lamp and string disks on it.
3. We place racks around and fix them in a circle of disks.

In finished form, such a chandelier will not require careful maintenance. But you should be careful, because the edges of the discs are quite sharp. Therefore, place the product in such a way that children cannot reach it.

Minimalist lampshade

The lampshade made of origami will easily fit into any interior.

A do-it-yourself lampshade for a chandelier looks stylish and original, where a set of plastic bottles or plastic spoons acts as the main material. Moreover, such a ceiling will be not only stylish, but also inexpensive.

• Plastic bottle;
• plastic spoons;
• Glue for plastic.

• Then, with the help of glue, the spoons are fixed on the bottle. In order for the ceiling to turn out beautiful, you need to stick the spoons neatly, in an orderly manner and as close as possible, so that the ceiling resembles fish scales.

Moreover, the shape of the chandelier can be any. So, it can be a lamp in the form of an open lotus flower or coconut.

To give the plastic the desired shape, it is enough to heat it up a little.

You can make a lighting device from bottles as follows:

• First, leaves are made from bottles, for this the bottles are cut, and then a leaf of the desired shape is cut out of each piece;
• Next, each leaflet from plastic bottles needs to be slightly melted so that it is slightly curved;
• Then, using a hot needle, a hole is made at the base of each leaflet. After that, with the help of wire, the leaves are fixed on the lampshade.

From threads

Prepare threads, yarn or twine, PVA glue, a balloon and follow these instructions:

1. Inflate the balloon to the desired size.
2. Draw a circle in its upper part, the diameter of which corresponds to the bulb holder.
3. Draw a larger circle at the bottom of the balloon.

• Now you can try on the ceiling. Decorate as desired with beads, flowers, sequins.

From glass jars

The advantage of a glass jar chandelier is that glass is a heat-resistant material and it is safe to use ordinary incandescent lamps with this material. For work, special cans will be needed, that is, those whose lids are unscrewed.

• On the lid of the can in the center we outline the contours for the cartridge. To get the circle diameter the right size, remove the screw cap from the chuck and circle it with a marker. Next, a hole is cut along the contour. This can be done with a drill by drilling holes as close as possible to each other and squeezing out the resulting circle.
• A cartridge with a light bulb is inserted into the hole formed. It remains only to screw the jar on the lid.
